Buying a used Skoda Enyaq IV: what to check
These checks follow the Skoda Enyaq IV’s own MOT record: the areas it fails on most often, and how that changes as the car gets older. None of them replaces a mechanic’s inspection, but they tell you where to look first.
By mileage, the steepest fall is from 30,000–60,000 mi to 60,000–90,000 mi: 89.4% down to 83.8%. Mileage matters as well as age, so compare the car’s recorded mileages with its year.
1. Tyres
Recorded in 75.9% of failed Skoda Enyaq IV MOTs.
Check tread depth across the whole width of every tyre, including the inner edge. Uneven wear can point to alignment or suspension problems. Look for cuts and bulges in the sidewalls.
2. Lights and electrics
Recorded in 16.7% of failed Skoda Enyaq IV MOTs.
Walk round with the lights on: headlights (dipped and main), indicators, brake lights, fog light and number-plate lamp. Check the dashboard warning lights come on with the ignition, then go out once the engine starts.
3. Suspension
Recorded in 12.5% of failed Skoda Enyaq IV MOTs.
Listen for knocks over bumps and speed humps, and check the car sits level. Push down on each corner: it should settle rather than keep bouncing.
4. Windscreen and wipers
Recorded in 10.8% of failed Skoda Enyaq IV MOTs.
Look for windscreen chips and cracks in the driver’s line of sight, and check the wipers clear the screen and the washers work.
5. Seat belts and airbags
Recorded in 8.6% of failed Skoda Enyaq IV MOTs. 2.1% of tests at 3–6 years failed on seat belts and airbags, against 0.9% at 0–3 years.
Pull every seat belt out fully and let it retract. Check the buckles latch and release, and that the airbag warning light goes out after starting.
Check the car’s own MOT history. Averages describe the model, not the car in front of you. Look up its registration for past failures, advisories that were never fixed, and gaps or dips in the recorded mileage.
Ask for the service history. Invoices show what was done and when; a stamp alone shows less. See how to check Skoda service history and what a service history check can tell you.
